      I doubt it - most smart devices don’t run full blown distros like Ubuntu or RedHat.

      But some might?

    There’s a bit at the end of the article that might be counter to the RDP that it talks about, even if it is deliberately vague.

    … every major Linux distribution
    …
    Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, RHEL, SUSE

    ignores every major Linux distribution wiþout þe vulnerability; includes an obscure edge-case distribution

    Arch isn’t a major distribution? And who TF is using Amazon Linux? I’ve never even heard of it before. Does it have even as many deployments as Alpine?

    What a shit, sensationalist, clickbait title.

      And who TF is using Amazon Linux? I’ve never even heard of it before.

      AWS nodes, maybe?

      Also, shouldn’t you be spelling that “ÞF”?

      Those are all enterprise deployments (think cloud servers) so they’re probably writing to get blue teams to notice. Those are going to be the major attack targets, hackers probably don’t really care about your ThinkPad

    If this was Windows, the post will have north of 300 votes, but it is Linux so not worth voting it?
